This was such an inconspicuous mushroom I almost stepped on it but when I looked at it more closely I realized I had never seen one before. I am calling it an Old Man Mushroom because it's covered with gray hair. My personal senior's moment these days is trying to figure out where I left my mushroom field guide....

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.Click the photos to see them larger!
